If You Are Unemployed You Should Be Required to Home School.
Deconstructing the Coliseum: Teaching the Christian worldview, including how the civil government has no God-given right to operate a school system.
The civil government has no God-given right to take money from some people and give it to others. Families and churches do that, voluntarily with love, instead of civil government doing it involuntarily through taxes. While Romans 13:7 does read: “Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due.” The tribute or tax still must be qualified, meaning just because the civil government holds the sword over one’s head and demands a tax, it does not mean a tax is owed. The tax still must be qualified as proper – relative to the civil government’s jurisdiction over only actions. So if the civil government is not due something, you do not owe them something. Not only do the humans acting as the civil government have no God-given right to transfer wealth, voters do not either.
Having said that, here is an idea, one that you will most likely dislike. If your child goes to a civil government school, and you are not working, you should be required to home school your child. I say this with compassion: humanist economic policies have killed jobs and because of over-taxation you may not be able to afford educating your child privately. I get that.
But the proposed law that says that if you are not working you should be required to home school your child is more for humanists than it is for Christians. The humanists should be prevented from advancing humanist policies like unemployment, Social Security, Medicare, Obamacare, and so on, and at the same time collect money from taxpayers to pay for a system where they teach all those wealth transfer policies are proper.
